There's nothing like an school rapper. I'm talking back in the day before the bling. Apparently rap legend Chuck D laid it down old school style in a recent forum on the state of hip hop. Be sure to read the entire article before you start trippin' off his choice of words. Peace and I'm out.

Chuck's Still Fighting

You gotta love Chuck D, a true original and a genuine badass. Even when he's wrong, you nod your head and throw up a fist.
